The base ball game at Cresco on
Saturday. between the DEBORAH and
Leroy clubs. is followed by mental
conflict in the evening the literary
society Of the DEBORAH Institute hav-
ing challenged the Cresco literary So
ciety to a debate.-HDecorah Journal.
The rain spoiled the base ball game.
The LeRoy's obtained the first inning,
made three scores: DEBORAH had the
second and had three scores when the
rain broke up the game. with two ont,
and one on third base.
The mental conflict was to be over
the tariff. The challenge came from
DEBORAH; our boys accepted. choos-
ing the side Of tariff revision free
trade SO called): when the Decorah's
telegraphed that their high tariff boys
were out OF town. and If they came
up they must have the free trade side.
Charley Clark telegraphed them that
they needed all the protectionists here
for ''home consumption that the
free traders had to use them up about
once in two weeks.

AT a meeting Of the school board
for the Independent district Of Ossian
last Saturday evening. Prof. /. G.
Clark was unanimously chosen
principal Of the Ossian school as his
own successor. and Miss Owen was
selected a teacher in the primary de.
part,nent. The salary OF the princi.
pal was raised to so per month. and
Mis-. Owen will hereafter receive
$40. The selection Of Mr Clark for
the third time shows to the public
that his earnest and Jealous labors
in behalf of the school, is not only
appreciated by the school board. but
by all the people of the district as
we'll Mr.. Clark has labored diligent-
ly for the good OF the school, and
finds ready able assistant iii the

time no complaint has ever been
made against her character as a

The novel sensation Of the day
has been experienced ut Lyons,
Iowa, by the indictment by the
grand jury OF several wealthy citi-
zens for perjury in giving in their
property to the assessor. And this
brings UP the thought that this
practice is universal everywhere.
Men who on their business matters
are honest and upright seem to think
it sharp, when the assessor comes
around, to be almost poor enough
to look to the county for aid! Their
land is so poor as to be almost
worthless, their buildings in town are
practically worthless-they would
not sell for % per cent, first cost
and as to moneys and credits the
idea is ridiculous! II their debts
were paid they would not have q
dollar! True they may handle a
little money for a friend down east
but OF course they have no interest
in that!
Now what is the result OF this
aversion and getting out OF rnyine
an equitable share Of taxes on the
part OF the rich and we'll to do7 II
simply compels the poorer class
and the owners Of real estate and
visible property to pay these taxes
for them. A certain amount oi
money must he raised by taxation
The assessment is footed up and ii
is seen what per cent. OF that a.
sessment will raise the required
amount, and the per cent. SO found
is levied. The farmer and owner
OF visible property have no way OF
escape and must pay the bulk OF
taxes. The poor widow who has a
little house aad lot, perhaps, and
= COW, is assessed al. her property
will bear. fully one third OF its value
while her neighbor, living IN $ taaan-
sion. doe. not pay Oh one-f fifth OF
its cost, nor one fifth OF his monies

or Monday. July 4th 1858. the frs,
formal public celebration in Howard

held i'll the grove adjacent to New

who had been invited and announced
as the speaker.
And again Oh Monday, July 4tll
1887. the editor Of theILAIN DEALER

speaker for the occasion.
Alas. No In looking over the
throngs of people assembled in the
grove, Gods first temple, nearly
every face was new one, but here
and there one who had been present
OH the occasion twenty-nine years
before.
AT that time the venerable elder
Windsor served as Chaplain, and V
b. Averill read the declaration In
place of Judge Berry, whom the com
lnittee had selected. On the present
occasion Rev. G. A. Marshall, who
was but little beyond his boyhood
days, served as Chaplain. while hi

The national Legislative committee
of the Knights of Labor say that they
called upon President Cleveland and
urged him to veto the Interstate com
merce bill. on account Of its many
doubtful provisions. and its bearing
in favor of railroads.
1t is little singular that the Mt
forneys Of different railroad compa-
mics also called upon him to veto it.
This fact shows that the bill did not
satisfy extreme men on either side,
but occupied middle position, being

- Knight, OF Labor opposed the
Interstate commerce bill. because Of
its uncertainty Of meaning; because
it introduced the Infamous commits

attorneys opposed the bill because
they wanted like jeff Davis to be let
